Daylight Savings Time not changing

My clock currently shows the correct time. My alarm has the correct alarm time. But the alarm is ringing one hour before it should. I am now awake 2 days in a row one hour before I need to be. How do I fix this? The clock says 4:45 (when the alarm rang) but the alarms (correctly) shows it should ring at 5:45. In fact, it rang at 4:45. I don't have to be up for another hour. I need sleep 😟

Is there a way to actually reach anybody at Apple? Are they working on this? Anybody know?

Same thing here. The displayed time updated automatically to DST Sunday morning. But the alarm I had set for Sunday (not a repeating alarm) simply did not go off.

Then Monday morning, the repeating alarm I have set for weekdays went off an hour early (not cool when we're already springing forward and getting used to getting up an hour earlier). Half asleep, I deleted and reset the alarm, which then failed to go off as scheduled.

Proposed fixes such as rebooting the phone or simply turning Airplane mode off then back on have not worked. Monday's excellent user-experience was repeated today.

Apple, if you are going to put an alarm on a device, make it work reliably.

@Sean Rb

I am also on Rogers, with a 3Gs and iOS 4.3. I have the same problem, the DST was not updated. I switched 3G off, and the time is now correct. Switching 3G back on, it reverts to back one hour.

I'll be calling Rogers support.

Oh, and @Allan Sampson, that's not helping anyone.

Here's what they had me do:
Disable Wifi
Stop all applications in the task manager
Go into Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings (phone resets)
Go into Settings -> General -> Date & Time -> (24-Hour Time set to off) UNSET "Set Automatically"
Leave it there for about 10 minutes, then turn it back on.

I'm in the process of waiting that 10 minutes... I'll let you know if it works...

I just updated to 4.3

tested a repeating alarm.

It worked!
(true test will be at 6:25 in the morning)
will report back if it doesn't work.

Problem is still there... 😟

I experienced problems as well with daylight savings. My iPhone 4 (At&t) did change the time correctly at 2am and stayed with the correct time but then the following day reverted back to one hour behind...no idea what happened to cause this. I tried rebooting and syncing to no avail. One would think the easy fix would be to simply manually set the time however this caused all the times on my emails to be incorrect and not just by a hour some were a hour behind some were a few, didn't make any sense. Anyways I googled it and came across an article about this problem and it said to toggle airplane mode and it would fix this problem.

Success Toggling airplane mode fixed it and now I have the correct time with automatic setting on, hopefully it stays this time and doesn't change back tomorrow. 🙂

i think all of us know this dst alarm bug is for real,, i think what we need to do is figure out if firmware makes a diff.. i am running 4.1 on an iphone 4 and am experiencing the bug where recurring alarm will work, but it is 1 hr early.. single event alarms work no problem..
but what about people who have 4.2.1 and or 4.3?? are these bugs still present?
i read somewhere back in nov, that the bug would go away after a few days.. in fact it was an apple bulletin that said so,,id this true??

I had just posted I updated to 4.3.
(I hadn't updated to 4.2 prior)

I tested a repeating alarm and it worked fine. Alarm went off this AM with no problems.
Not sure if it was the update or not.

yes,, but prior to 4.3 ,, did you have the same issues as described in this whole topic??

I did NOT have the time issue.
the time advanced just fine and didn't go back.

I only had the alarm issue.

the time on my phone is right since dst, but the alarms are going off 1-2 hours early. what a pain. have rebooted the phone several times, does nothing. really tired from getting up so early.grrrr

Mine iPhone 4 did the same as many others. The time changed fine, but the alarm kept going off an hour early. Tried the "fixes" and they worked at first. But then tonight, out of the blue, when I'm only getting a few hours of sleep anyway, the alarm goes off an hour early again. And keeps going off ! Come on Apple! "Dumb" phones nailed the whole clock technology thing over a decade ago. Why can't your amazing phone get it right? This is ridiculous. I used to love my iPhone, bit stupid stuff like this has me seriously considering a switch.

No daylight savings time issues to report as of March 27th 2011, Norway.
Alarm woke me up 06.55 (6.55 am), just in time for me to enjoy this years first Formula 1 race in Melbourne, Australia :-))

Date&Time settings:
24-Hour Time (on)
Set Automatically (on)

iPhone 4
Version: 4.3 (8F190)
Model: MC605KN

Since the clocks switched to summer time, my iPhone 4 (software on 4.3) is stubbornly remaining on winter time. The existing repeat alarm clocks are ringing at the 'right' time, i.e. the time the device indicates, unfortunately that time is one hour late as of Sunday 2 AM.

I was under the impression that at some point Sunday PM it had corrected itself, but this morning it was either still wrong, or back to being wrong, and I was late for work. I've tried multiple reboot, sync, turning off 3G and Wifi, reset of Network settings, leaving it on manual time setting for 10 min, so far without success.

I was off the cell network while the date change happened, as I have no reception from my network at my home. I have no idea if this may have caused the problem in the first place, but suffice to say: it is extremely annoying.
